“RESIST, INSIST, PERSIST, ENLIST.” – HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON

Hillary Clinton Honored at the Children’s Defense Fund Gala

The event was held at the Newseum in Washington D.C. Introducing Hillary, Marian Wright Edelman noted her overwhelming lead in the popular vote and called her “the People’s President.” Hillary admitted that making this appearance was not the easiest thing for her. She said she wanted to curl up with a good book and her dogs and never leave the house again. But she said she got up and dusted herself off because Marian exemplified that for her. She reminisced about Marian’s leadership and service, and her work with RFK and MLK.

Hillary quoted Marian, “Service is the rent we pay for living.” She spoke of service and said she did not get into public service to hold high office. She called child poverty America’s problem. She said there is a lot of work to do and asked us not to lose heart or give up on the values we share and to stay engaged. She told us America is worth it. Our children are worth it. She quoted 1st Corinthians, “Love never fails.”

Hillary told the story of her mother, Dorothy, who had a difficult childhood. She dreams of going back to her mom’s childhood to tell her that she would grow up to have a family and her daughter would become a U.S. Senator, Secretary of State, and win more than 62 million votes for President of the United States.

When I think of the nasty, low, campaign that the opposition ran, I just cannot fathom how people can vote for this hateful, divisive version of America. God, what were people thinking?? In Hillary, there was someone ready and able to take right over and govern on Day One. I hope she knows how much she is loved and respected by so many. I loved her inclusive message and I have the utmost admiration for her. God Bless Hillary.

suzie, no matter what Hillary does, it will be good for the country. And we need her more than ever. The more I hear about all that happened on election day and before, the more convinced I am that this was a coup d’etat disguised as an election. All that talk of a rigged election? It was a trap, and we all fell right into it. Projection.

@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!

"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway
